Lawless Avenues - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)[00:00:00]

Papa hit him mama kissed him[00:00:14]

Made him go to catechism[00:00:17]

With the sisters in their black and white[00:00:21]

And all the time those city streets[00:00:26]

Were teaching him another kind of wisdom[00:00:29]

When to run and when to fight[00:00:33]

Up at the playground after school[00:00:39]

Listening to tales of the prison system[00:00:42]

And those lawless avenues[00:00:49]

Dawn on a half darkened street[00:00:58]

A child's footsteps repeat[00:01:04]

And something there turns them[00:01:10]

Down those lawless avenues[00:01:14]

Silent joe went down so bad[00:01:23]

He was the strongest fighter the avenues had[00:01:26]

Stabbed in the chest--he went down swinging[00:01:30]

Someone from some other part of town[00:01:36]

No one even seen it coming down[00:01:39]

And you don't hear no church bells ringing[00:01:42]

And in the violent night the police light[00:01:47]

Sweeps across the lots and the yards[00:01:51]

Following those lawless avenues[00:01:55]

Down on a half darkened street[00:02:04]

Armies advance and retreat[00:02:11]

And struggle to take control[00:02:17]

From those lawless avenues[00:02:20]

Manuelito's sister rosa[00:02:49]

Ran away with a surfer from hermosa[00:02:52]

Manuelito cuida a rosa [00:02:55]

Hay mira como estan las cosas [00:02:56]

Manuelito take care of rosa[00:02:58]

--look at how things are[00:02:59]

But who could blame her after she saw[00:03:01]

Every boy die who could have gotten close to her[00:03:05]

Rosa es joven u solo quiere[00:03:09]

Ver la belleza del mundo[00:03:12]

"you gotta fight for what you want in this life"[00:03:14]

Just before they shipped him overseas to 'nam[00:03:17]

Otra guerra sin razon[00:03:20]

Otra guerra sin fin sin honor[00:03:23]

Another war without reason [00:03:24]

Another war without end without honor[00:03:25]

And she was fighting to understand[00:03:26]

When they shipped manuelito's body home[00:03:30]

All she heard was one more shot[00:03:35]

Echoing down lawless avenues[00:03:39]

Hoy amigo tal igual como ayer [00:03:45]

La lucha en el barrio no cambia[00:03:49]

Nuestros hijos son los que han de crecer[00:03:53]

Por ley de la calle viviendo entre abrazos[00:03:58]

Y chingazos[00:04:03]

Down on a half darkened street[00:04:33]

Fathers' and sons' lives repeat[00:04:39]

And something there turns them[00:04:45]

Down those lawless avenues[00:04:48]

En el calor de la calle[00:04:58]

(in the heat of the street)[00:05:02]

Buscan valor en la calle[00:05:03]

(looking for valor in the street)[00:05:08]

Hasta final de la calle[00:05:10]

(till the end of the street)[00:05:14]

Buscan valor en la calle[00:05:16]

(looking for valor in the street)[00:05:20]
